  Hi. I’m wondering if you guys could delete my account completely? Every time I make a comment on a blog and I write in my email address, my username and things appear and I DO NOT want that. I want this account to be completely gone, period.
  So could you please do me a favor and just get rid off my account, please? Thanks.

  Username accounts are ever deleted but there are steps you can take that result in leaving only a throwaway email address behind.
  http://en.support.wordpress.com/deleting-accounts/ please note the following:

  1. You can go to My Account->Edit Profile and remove all data except the account name and an email address. Create a throwaway email address and change the account email to that throwaway address. This only leaves the username behind.

  2. To unsubscribe from email sent to you from WordPress.com, go here and click on “Block all subscription emails from WordPress.com”:

  3. To ensure the account is locked up tightly, visit this site, generate a password of 15-20 characters, and change the account password to it:

  4. While you cannot completely delete your Gravatar profile, you can remove all of your profile information easily through the “Edit My Profile” page here:
  http://en.gravatar.com/profiles/edit/?noclose#about-you

  You can also hide your Gravatar profile from external access. Visit your profile page (click your name in the top navigation of the website), then click the “Hide My Profile” link in the bottom, right-hand corner.
